Chapter 2019 Desert Rift
What happened on the border of Kumai shocked the princes, ministers and King XVII in Thebiles. In the history of the war between the two countries, the Eagle God has never been seen. The empire showed such great fighting power. An emergency meeting was immediately held in the palace. When it was learned that the Gripen Empire's army suddenly used an ultimate weapon like Jian Yuetianxia in the war, the Demon Moon Empire felt the seriousness of the problem. The king ordered the Northern King to As the Frost Knights under his control rushed to the front line to join the frontline troops, they issued new mobilization instructions for the garrison troops stationed in various provinces in the Western Region.
Because of the last rash invasion and truce of the Gripen Kingdom, as well as the Elven Script Letter obtained from the Battle of the Holy Demon, the Seventeenth Generation was very wary of the actions of the Gripen Kingdom in the West. The transfer of King of the North Dutch and the Frost Knights from the northeastern part of the empire to the Western Capital is one of the measures to strengthen prevention. In addition, Hanard, the second son of the Christian family, was sent to the Western Territory for a long time to train the army and served as the commander together with three other senior generals.
At the meeting, a minister proposed to send another knight group to the west to increase the elite combat effectiveness. In the Demon Moon Empire, in addition to the private and local knights, there are eight knights who are directly affiliated with the king's royal family. Among them, the Red Maple Knights, who are said to have the strongest combat effectiveness, are stationed in the south all year round and are specifically used to target Saint Vicoia. However, this unit was not used in the last war.
There is also an Imperial Holy Moon Knights whose strength is not weaker than the Red Maple Knights. The team strength is 1,000 people. 500 people are stationed in the eastern suburbs of Anmosidou, and the other 500 are stationed in the imperial capital. The two teams There was a rotation, and the command was in the hands of Queen Athena. Therefore, it was immediately decided that the 500 Holy Moon Knights stationed on the outskirts of the Western Capital would participate in the war against the West.
While the Demon Moon Empire was making intensive arrangements in the north, the western part of St. Bikoya was also attacked by the expeditionary force led by Fried. St. Bikoya had already been on guard due to Memphela's previous reminder, and the border troops were still waiting for the enemy to attack. The intelligence was received before the attack was launched and an active defense was launched immediately. At this point, the war between the Creation King and the two kingdoms of Saint and Demon has officially begun.
……
On April 30, 7407 in the Holy Garden Calendar, it only took Charles Tyson’s airship team a few days to find it after leaving the tomb of the Polar Princess. After a quick excavation of the tomb of Princess Aster, the fifth princess of Glonas, the group took an airship to the location of the last cemetery known to Zola. What makes Alice even more happy is that Master Bing Zhixie got back in touch with her not long ago and learned that he was on his way here.
This is a Gobi desert. In addition to dry soil, the ground also has sparse grass that has not yet died. The cracked ground extends into intricate canyons. It is said that during the rainy season, the canyons here will briefly form. River, the area will also temporarily become an oasis.
This place is already a very deep desert area. It is very far away from south to north, east to west. It is the edge of the harshest environment in the Sea of Death Desert. The wind and sand here are constant all year round, and the daytime temperature is often scorching above 70 degrees in late spring. It is very difficult to hike here, and the risk of taking an airship is also very high.
The people on the boat got down and anchored the boat, and the others slowly came out of the cabin. As soon as the young women came into contact with the sun outside, they felt that their skin was dry, so they quickly picked up the skin water bags that had been heated by the sun and drank from them.
Alice licked her dry lips. Although she was wearing shoes, her feet stepped on the sand, and the shoes still felt stuffy and hot. She tightened the string of her sun-proof straw hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. She put on a cloak made of blankets and made a simple crystal slot under the cloak. Cryolite exudes a faint hint of coolness, which can slow down the loss of water in the body and prevent it from getting too hot.
The men's skin was tanned by the sun, and the sweat was evaporated without being able to flow out. Almost everyone put on a large cloak. They came to the edge of the cracked canyon to take a look, and then parted ways to walk along Search along the edge of the canyon. The cemetery that Ruola speculated is roughly here, and the rift valley here is obviously a good place to build a mausoleum and a tomb. There shouldn't even be just one mausoleum here, there might be a group of tombs, because some of them have heard about the existence of these rift valleys in the past.
There is indeed a tomb here, and there is no need to look too carefully. Everyone soon found an ancient tomb on the gorge wall. The stone door of the ancient tomb had already been opened, and there were many clay pots scattered in front of the tomb door. The fragments of tiles and the ancient patterns and characters carved on both sides of the door have weathered and become unclear, making it impossible to tell which country, dynasty or era they came from.
Ticket inspector Payton, swimmer Monk, Flat Nose, Cannabis Spot and others went into the tomb first and walked around. After digging the ancient tomb several times before, they were more courageous and experienced. A lot. They came out less than twenty minutes after entering. The tomb had been basically emptied of everyone. What was left behind was worthless to them and had long since rotted and turned into dust.
However, Taylor and other ancient culture enthusiasts went into the tomb to investigate again. They found two coins, one gold and one silver, in the dust on the tomb surface, which were probably dropped by the tomb robbers during the transportation. They looked at the decorative text on the ancient coin and determined that the text on the coin was the text of an ancient desert country called the Kingdom of Dusk Sand. This Kingdom of Dusk Sand was destroyed in the ancient Phoenician conquest. Judging from the size of this tomb, it should be the tomb of a certain king of the Dusk Sand Kingdom. In the evening, the scorching temperature dropped, and they found a suitable area in the canyon for the airship to park, and moved the airship down.
Everyone lit up a bonfire and cooked porridge. They threw the dried meat strips into the pot and cooked them together. People who knew each other chatted with each other. Cannabis Spot sat with the boss, Charles Juya. He dug out a big booger from his nostrils and flicked it into the fire. Hearing everyone talk about the customs and strange things of this place, Taylor and others even talked about the Kingdom of Dusk Sand. some stories.
According to legend, during the period of the last king of the Kingdom of Musha, which was also the early period of the rule of Phoecanian Glonus, the war among the countries in the central desert area entered a period of intense intensity. Except for the Kingdom of Phoenicia and the Kingdom of Musha, There are also three relatively powerful countries, and the leaders of these five countries were called the Five Holy Kings at the time. During that period, this place was extremely prosperous. Because of the wars and disputes between each other, a large number of talents from all walks of life emerged from various countries, and the level of civilization here reached an unprecedented height.
Later, with the continuous rise of Phocania, the other four countries gradually declined. In order to resist the invasion of Phocanni, large and small countries, including the Kingdom of Musha, formed an alliance. However, the alliance eventually ended in hatred between each other. In the end, these four countries were destroyed by Phocanae one after another, and their reputation reached its peak when Glonus destroyed the other four holy kings. He brought the kings of the four kingdoms to a square with tens of thousands of people and beheaded them in public, and ordered the best craftsmen at the time to cast four face-covered crowns with the faces of the four kings, and placed these four crowns on his throne as his greatest trophies. Below, so that all pilgrims can feel his majesty.
It is said that these four crowns are all rare treasures and were buried with him in the tomb after his death. But as time goes by, I don’t know how true this story is.
Some of the sand pirates have heard the story of the Five Holy Kings, but the Four Holy Crowns don’t know if it exists. Mari Spot drank a bowl of meat porridge and said: "It's hard to believe the old stories, but I heard from other sand bandits that this place is haunted."
"There are also sand bandits in recent years. Are you coming here?" Taylor was a little surprised. Qiu Ya had never heard of this before and asked, "Tell me about this. What's going on?"
Jiu Ya found that he was suddenly being taken seriously. A little proud, he put down the bowl and said, "It's true." I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard from a friend who was traveling in the Northland Oasis. He said that he and his friend once met a businessman who was killed and separated in the desert. The businessman told him that it was due to a sandstorm. Because of this, his caravan lost its way in the desert and came to a rift valley that looked like an ugly scar. In the rift valley, they found several stolen tombs, and at night there would be many tombs in the rift valley. White light, like a ghost Things like floating souls attacked them. Later, the businessman escaped from that place desperately, but the rest of his caravan were not so lucky. After my friend took him back to the oasis, he asked him to draw the journey to the rift valley. The general direction map, because of the ancient tomb, my friend wanted to try his luck. But he followed the map drawn by the businessman several times to find that place, but in vain. In the end, he thought that the businessman had deceived him. In order to request that he will Then he told me this story. I just thought, hey, isn’t this exactly what my friend was describing? "
< br>"Okay." Qiu Ya slapped Big Spot on the back: "I have never heard you say this. When did you have such a friend? What is his name? Do I recognize him? .”
Cannabis Spot rubbed his burning back and smiled awkwardly: "You definitely don't know my friend, he..." Before he could finish speaking, Shakhan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone from making any noise, and looked around. At this time, everyone discovered that white bright spots appeared at the far end of the rift valley. The bright spots were floating in the air and seemed to be moving slowly. Gradually, there were more and more white spots, and they were getting closer and closer...
